I don't know if UPS or FedEx does it without you being an FFL but i think the USPS does, just go ask them before showing up with a firearm in person, kind of a felony if caught carrying a firearm in a federal building.
if you can't pack it in your luggage and drive up there, then worst case, have an FFL down here, ship it to an FFL up there and then get it back. the downside is you would have to already have an ID from the new state with your new address before you can pick it up from the FFL.
IF you are flying you can check with your airline but most will check a hard sided, locked case with a firearm in it. you have to declare it and have them tag it and inspect it and all but you can pick it up when you land in the new state and be 100% legal.
be sure to check local and state laws as i am no lawyer or atty.
